I'll give the first episode a watch.

I don't watch much television, but the HBO series, The Leftovers, is the best series I've watched in three years. Season Two is especially good, but Season One was difficult for many people to understand and get used to.
If you decide to watch it, two rules apply: (1) Don't binge watch. The show's effectiveness drops by at least a factor of ten if you just roll all of the episodes together. (2) Even if you hate Season One, get up to the episode entitled "Guest". If you're not especially moved by the fate of the title character in this episode, then you'll never be moved by anything in the show, in which case you should stop watching.
I definitely would not say that "The Leftovers" is the best series I've watched in three years, but I do agree with the rest of the review. Season one was just OK, so I reluctantly decided to watch season two. "The Leftovers" is one of the few shows where the second season is vastly superior to the first season. First, because it loses the teen-aspect story from season one, which distracted greatly from the show and seemed geared towards pulling in a younger audience. Second, and even more important, the second season's episodes focused on pushing the story along by focusng on just one character per episode, which is far more effective than bouncing around from character-to-character (like a typical TV show). As a result, there were some very powerful episodes. I especially liked the one that focused on the church pastor ("No Room At The Inn").

Good God. I thought people were exaggerating when they said Portland was literally an SJW city. Watching Louis Theroux's new doc about Polyamoury and Portland's bizarre on a level I can't get my head around.
If you can't be bothered tormenting it I'm sure it'll be on Netflix sooner or later. I can certainly see why the States is so divided. I mean... Donald Trumps values are a world away from these hippy freaks. I feel sorry for some of the men who blatantly aren't as into the situation as the women. Louis explores this.

The walking dead season 9 has been a return to form, great suspense and story writing. Angela Kang is back as show runner, she's doing a great job reviving the show. No affirmative action required here, she's making some great TV and lm excited for the next episode for the first time in many years.
